Library Cookbooks

Guess what is in my library bag again, cookbooks of course. The problem is that I check out to many cookbooks and I don’t get them looked through before they have to go back. I need to control myself better in the cookbook section of the library.

I have not had a lot of time to go through all of these, but here is a brief review of them.

Rachael Ray Big Orange Book- This is a combination of some of her other books and recipes. If you like Rachael Ray you will probably like this. It is basically a best of book.

Lost Recipes by Marion Cunningham- This book is full of good old fashioned recipes. I am copying several of them down that you will be probably be seeing soon.

Ratio-I love this book and find it very interesting. It is all about the science and ratios behind food and recipes. I hope to do a whole post on this book.

Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking with Herbs – I have not had time to look through this, but it looks interesting.

Cooking Know-How – Again I have not had a chance to look through it much.

Foods That Say Welcome -Simply, home style type recipes, good for entertaining.

The Flavor Bible – This is a great book for the experienced cook. It is not recipes, but full of information on what flavors go with what. A very useful book for the serious cook.

Fix It and Forget It Big Cookbook – I love the Fix It and Forget It books. I have used them a lot and I hope to do a whole post reviewing these books soon.

So, those are the cookbooks that I have been reading. Have you been reading any interesting cookbooks lately? I would love to hear if you have.

    I love my Alton Brown books: I'm Just Here for the Food and I'm Just Here for More Food. They are fascinating to read and not like any other cookbooks I own! Very educational!!

    I love cookbooks too! I especially love the ones that have pictures of the prepared meal so you can see what it's supposed to look like. 🙂 One of my favorite things to get recipes and ideas from is actually not a cookbook but a magazine. Kraft has a magazine that they send out for free and it's always full of yummy meals and simple ideas. Good stuff!! 🙂

    I did a post about a week ago on food books I've been reading. They're not cookbooks, exactly, but two of them do contain recipes. I love reading about food! And I'm with you, the library is a terrific place to load up on a bunch. I checked out a stack yesterday; one that looks really good is some of the best articles from 60 years of Gourmet magazine. It's edited by Ruth Reichl. I've just read a little bit so far, but I like it. Thanks for sharing your stack. Can't wait to hear more when you're further into them . . .

    For some odd reason, I love to read cook books. My latest is Ina Garten's "Back to Basics".

    Okay, I'm inspired to check out some cookbooks on my next visit to the library! I haven't done that in awhile and could use some inspiration for some new meals!
